re: Anybody Watch Black Sails?

The original buccaneers were organized by the real captain Morgan who was nothing like the guy on the liquor bottle. He was later the Royal governor of Jamaica. With about 600 very dangerous fighters mostly former Royal Navy, he raided Spanish ports to the tune of $2 Billion dollars in today's money. The Spanish protested to Charles II. And got a big 'frick you' for their troubles.

Morgan does not appear in 'Black Sails'. Not really a pirate he had letters of marque from the Crown. He only preyed on Spanish ships.
